Ton of fun!
The pick up and drop off service was so helpful. The flight itself was a thrill and the pilot was very personable. Would do it again!
Amazing!!! You will not regret this trip! I intend to take my family on this the next time we are in San Francisco. I will be doing more of these.
This adventure was magnificent! My only complaint is that I wanted to ride in that helicopter much longer:) It really was a smooth and beautiful tour. The helicopter was extremely comfortable, the staff was excellent, and the views were breathtaking. It was a first class experience all the way.
The process was very streamlined! The pickup was easy! The driver was awesome, super friendly! The flight was great! Make sure you have your camera ready when ya go under the bridge.... He flew under it really quick! Overall a great experience!! We'll likely do it again, next time we come to town!!!
This tour was the highlight of our vacation to San Francisco. The driver was courteous and the pilot was awesome and provided a great tour. I had no issues because I sat in front next to the pilot, but the tour was geared to those seated on the left of the aircraft. Wish this was offered at night
I had a very good experience. The driver who picked me up was friendly and knowledgeable, being a pilot himself. The helicopter trip itself was spectacular and the pilot was helpful in answering questions. There was some confusion the day before about whether my tour was still going ahead but this was resolved and did not spoil my enjoyment. This was one of the highlights of my trip to San Francisco and I would recommend it to anyone.
I really enjoyed the tour over SF. You get to see everything you need and get extra informatuon. If you have some extra money on your trip you should totally do the tour!
This tour was so amazing I recommended to any couple trying to do something special . Me and my honey went for Valentines weekend and we had an amazing time! Going under and over the Golden gate Bridge was unbelievable a little scary but so worth it!!!! Mike and blanca❤❤
The whole family had an amazing time. My wife said it was one of the best family moments we've had. Our 6 yr. old daughter said it was the best day ever!, our 3 year old boy was amazed the whole time and our 5 month old little daughter was also wide eyed the whole time. It is a unique experience going under and over the golden gate bridge. I fully recommended, the value of this experience is worth many times more that it's cost.
This was so cool. Helicopter was really luxurious and very comfortable. Flying about seeing the sights gave a completely different perspective. Have recommended to people already.
had a great day out from pick up to the drop off the tour was just amazing would highly recommend it.
It was the best experience that I ever had. The weather was great for the tour it couldn't have been better.
I had so much fun!!! Even the ride to the helicopter was fun!! I got to sit in the FRONT SEAT!!!! Took Great pictures too. It was my first time in the helicopter and will be looking forward in the future for more flight time. Thank you for the time of my life.
Was the highlight of our trip. Every informative and comfortable. Loved the fact that we flew UNDER the Golden Gate Bridge too cool.
Excellent services and tour by SF helicopter. It started with a shuttle service from pier 39 to SFO driving thru the SF landscape. After an exciting air tour that included close to sea level flying under both the Bay and Golden Gate Bridges we landed in Sausalito and took the scenic route back.
Great flight! Great views! As the Golden Gate was in a fog, we passed under the Bay Bridge.
This was an awesome experience. The weather was beautiful, the online reservation process was easy, the van pick up was on time and the flight by a very knowledgeable pilot (Mark) was a fun experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone. This was my first time to fly in a helicopter (my wife's second time) and I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth and quiet the flight was. At 67 years old, flying under the Golden Gate Bridge was an experience of a lifetime. We'll come back and do it again the next time we visit San Francisco.
This trip was definitely the highlight of our trip. We were let down by the government shutdown for other trips but this more than made up for it. We had fantastic clear weather and so were able to fly under the Golden Gate Bridge, it was my husbands birthday so he got to sit in the front which made it even more special. The pick up was hassle free and the pilot was great. We thoroughly recommend this company and this trip.

This helicopter flight was fantastic I would recommend this to anyone going to san Fransisco
From the time I made reservations, the flight itself, to the final landing, all were excellent!!! The trip was totally worth the cost - just wished it was a bit longer. The staff was extremely helpful in accommodating my special needs for the day in celebration of my husband's birthday. Thanks!!!
Amazing experience, the tour company that took us were very professional. The driver collected us from fisherman's wharf and was extremely helpful and the pilot was excellent. We managed to go over and under Golden Gate Bridge and he explained what we were seeing. HIGHLY recommended, so worth it!
This was an awesome experience. My sons ages 15 and 13 had never experienced a helicopter ride and this did not disappoint. The highlight (besides the awesome views) was going over and under the Golden Gate bridge. I had not told my sons that this was part of the tour and they talked about that experience the whole rest of the time we were in The City. The pilot was outstanding . We would definitely do this again.
We were definitely not pleased with our tour. Our van was nice and the video we watched in the van was the closest we came to seeing many of the sights that are promised. We left from our heliport and the next time we went over land was when we were landing. The only exciting part was going under the Golden Gate Bridge. Everything else we were going to see we saw from a distance while we were well over water. We were not told this, but there was an event going on at Candlestick Park as well as AT and T field. Given that we couldn't come within a quarter mile of land. If they had been honest and told me I would have rescheduled or they should have reduced the cost. As it is, we spent $450 to fly under the Golden Gate Bridge. When we were going to land we ended up flying in figure 8's over a group of oil tankers for twenty minutes before getting clearance to land. Our pilot spoke very little to us and spent the majority of his time talking with flight control so many of our questions went unanswered. I have been on many helicopter tours and never had one quite this bad. I recommend going to dinner at the Top of the Mark or eating at The Palace. It won't cost nearly as much and the memories will last forever.
This tour is amazing! What an experience to fly under the Golden Gate Bridge! We had beautiful weather and our pilot was extremely informative. Only sad part was, it was over too soon!!! Thanks for the best ride in the San Francisco Bay area.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, Inc., New York, NY, USA
I first learned about OCRF through my sister, who is now a member of the executive committee of its junior board. Our mother passed away from ovarian cancer in March 2007 and we both learned through the experience how little was known about the disease since she was misdiagnosed several times. I am now dedicated to OCRF's cause and think that it's great that there is an organization focused specifically on raising awareness of the disease. I give annually and also participated in OCRF's first annual TEAL Walk last year.

West Nile virus cases are up 40 percent since last week and may rival the record years of 2002 and 2003, federal health officials said Wednesday.
So far this year, 1,590 cases of the mosquito-borne disease have been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with 66 deaths.
About half of the cases are serious illnesses, and the CDC considers those the best indicator of West Nile activity because many mild cases do not get reported and their symptoms may not even be recognized.
Typical symptoms are fever, headache and body aches, and most people get better on their own in a few days. Less than 1 percent develops neurological symptoms such as stiff necks and even coma and paralysis.
Health officials think that West Nile activity is at its peak, but likely will continue through October. Because symptoms can take two weeks to appear, reported cases lag behind when people become infected.
All states except Alaska and Hawaii have found West Nile virus in people, birds or mosquitoes this year. Texas has been the hardest hit, accounting for half of the cases reported to the CDC so far.
Teachers union gives 10-day strike notice
CHICAGO — The Chicago Teachers Union has given a 10-day strike notice, saying members are willing to walk off the job for the first time in 25 years.
Union President Karen Lewis said Wednesday that contract talks are faltering, with unresolved issues that include pay increases and job security.
The notice does not mean teachers necessarily will go on strike. The union could decide to continue negotiating.
The soonest teachers could go on strike is Sept. 10. Many students are already back to school. The rest begin Tuesday.
The Chicago Board of Education says it is ready to care for children who rely on schools for meals and a safe place during the day.
Both sides already agreed on one big issue: hiring more teachers to allow for a longer school day.

I think you should go for it if you are eligible to sit. Double check as most states require at least a bachelors before taking the exam. The CMA or EA can be taken sooner.
So, I'm going all in. I am aiming to sit for FAR in Jan-Feb which will be the beginning of the Spring semester for me. I am planning on taking three classes in the Spring. Has anyone still been in school while studying for the exam? My plan in to apply now, I should have enough credit in the correct area, still haven't figured that out. If I'm good, then I am shooting for the first testing cycle of 2015. I want to be done with exam around the same time that I graduate which is summer 2016. Any and all advice would be good.

#6937 new defect
defect: transcoded audio file/stream from qtsound produces noise artifacts
|Reported by:

|Work status:
As reported in: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=99280
When transcoding audio input from the qtsound module sound is rendered with noise making it basically useless for further processing. Example audio transcoding product: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73639444/qtsound_avcodec_aac.ts You can hear clipping or crackling sound artifacts in the transcoded file.
Command to reproduce this file:

Using twolame encoder does not solve the issue
Using different codecs such as mp3, alac or ogg does not solve the issue
The conversion from FL32 to S16 (static block_t *Fl32toS16(filter_t *filter, block_t *b)) in modules/audio_filter/converter/format.c works correctly (tested with another conversion)
Possible starting points for solution:
(1) audio generated by qtsound does not conform to further processing steps
(2) conversion process from f32l->s16l is missing something
(3) additional audio filter needed for conversion
Note that simply playing qtsound does *not* produce such artifacts - it sounds fine.

Red Sox RHP Buchholz leaves with apparent injury - 0 Comments
BOSTON — Red Sox starting pitcher Clay Buchholz walked off the mound in the seventh inning in the nightcap of a day-night doubleheader Saturday night with what the team called "neck tightness."
Buchholz had attempted to field Howie Kendrick's hard grounder to the box an inning earlier, had the ball bounce behind him and when he left after the sixth he was seen on TV looking at his left hand with a trainer.
It was quite a fielding night for the Red Sox ace.

The shooting death of a Florida teenager in February that attracted national attention prompted some Oklahomans to speak out about injustice toward minorities and racism.
Oklahomans protest the shooting death of Trayvon Martin
A group of people gathered Sunday in Oklahoma City near NW 23 and Classen Boulevard to protest the death of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old boy who was fatally shot in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26 by a neighborhood watch volunteer.
The man, George Zimmerman, 28, told police he shot Martin in self-
Zimmerman has not been arrested or charged in the case.
"Seeing this scenario, it hits home. Ethnic and racial injustice happens," said Jason Quaynor, 23, of Norman.
Quaynor, a senior English and writing major at the University of Oklahoma, said he participated in the protest to spread awareness about the shooting and other cases dealing with race.
He said there have been questionable shootings in Oklahoma, including the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old black man by a police officer in Del City on March 14.
Police said Dane Garrett Scott Jr. led officers on a short pursuit before crashing near Interstate 35 and SE 15 in Oklahoma City. The officer said Scott tried to leave the scene and fought with him over a gun. Friends and family question the officer's account of what happened.

James Welch
The Conservative Government has come to power with a manifesto commitment to repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a "British Bill of Rights". But plans to legislate were not included in the Queen's Speech; instead the Government proposes to bring forward proposals for a Bill some time this year.
James Welch, the Legal Director of Liberty will seek to explode the myths around the Human Rights Act and the European Convention on Human Rights that it gives effect to. He will argue that repeal of the Act and/or any change to our relationship to the European are not only unnecessary but extremely undesirable.
Liberty is a campaigning group working to protect civil liberties and promote human rights through a combination of test case litigation, lobbying, campaigning and the provision of free advice. Liberty is an independent membership organisation and relies on the support of individuals. Join today at www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk. James has been Liberty's Legal Director since 2000.

He's also a keen fan of skepticism from the sidelines, dipping his toes into the anti-homeopathy and pro-choice movements, plus his 2013 stand-up performances at QED and the MSS. "Basically I'm a nice man and I'd very much like Newcastle Skeptics to like me", he says.
In July Chris will be bringing a work-in-progress preview to us of his new Edinburgh Fringe show, Left Wing Propaganda Machine, a show he thinks will be about "evidence, and how people in power are bad at using it".
He'll be using stand-up comedy to argue for an evidence-based drugs policy; for an end to austerity; and he'll be talking plenty on how every single statistic that British people think they know is wrong. How can democracy even work when we're so badly informed? And how on earth does someone make that funny? Come and see Chris in July, and see if he's worked it out."
You can follow Chris Coltrane on twitter @chris_coltrane, or visit his website www.chriscoltrane.co.uk for podcasts of previous Edinburgh Fringe shows!
This is a free event, although donations to help fund Newcastle Skeptics in the Pub events are appreciated. We suggest £3, or whatever you can afford. Seats are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Suw Charman-Anderson
Due to popular demand, we have moved this event to the Tyneside Irish Centre!
In 2009, Suw Charman-Anderson founded of Ada Lovelace Day, an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths. With grassroots events held around the world and thousands of people writing and talking about the women who have inspired them, the day seeks to raise women's profiles and highlight unsung heroines.
Suw will talk about why there's a need for such a day, and also about Ada Lovelace herself. Lauded as the first ever computer programmer, Ada was a gifted mathematician, yet today she faces challenges from many voices as to the veracity of her contributions to computer science. So who was Ada? And what do we know about her work on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine?
Suw is a social technologist and, as one of the UK's social media pioneers, has worked with clients worldwide. A freelance journalist, she has written about social media and technology for The Guardian, CIO Magazine and others.
Learn more about Ada Lovelace Day, 13 October 2015, at www.findingada.com or follow the team on Twitter at @findingada. Suw's blog is at www.chocolateandvodka.com and you can follow her on Twitter as @suw.

Rebecca O'Neill
Three and a half years behind the counter in a health food shop can be a learning experience in more ways than one.
From vitamins and minerals to the latest celebrity-endorsed wonder supplement, no main street or shopping centre is complete without a purveyor of alternative therapies. Likewise, there are very few people who don't associate vitamin C or echinacea with the treatment of colds or flu.
If these ideas are so pervasive, one question is why? What is it about the sellers of these therapies that make them seem so valid or trustworthy?
Well, take it from a former believer: the answer is definitely not black and white.
Rebecca O'Neill is the founder of the Dublin Skeptics in the Pub group that looks to promote rational, critical thinking and examines extraordinary claims whilst having a quiet pint (or beverage of choice). She is also co-host and producer one of the few all-female skeptical podcasts: The Skeprechauns.
During her undergraduate, the necessary evil of a part time job led her to work in retail, spending three and a half years behind the tills in a well known health food shop. As a coping mechanism, and perhaps to make amends for her time selling goji berries and aloe vera juice, she now gives talks about her experiences and about the health food industry in general.
A designer by training she fell rather serendipitously into museum work, working the in the Natural History Museum in Dublin for five years. She is now studying for her PhD, interested in all things curatorial in the real and digital world.

Richard Shelley
Economics is used as the justification for all manner of things many of which have a profound impact on our lives, yet as of July 2014 only 1 in 10 MPs could correctly identify how new money comes into the UK economy. This talk aims to explain the distinctly unfair workings of our money system and give everyone attending no matter their background the tools and understanding to begin to unpick economic arguments
Richard Shelley is a Doctor who trained in Newcastle following an Undergraduate Masters from the University of Oxford. He became interested in the Money System while working in Japan and China and continued this interest on his return to the UK. In 2011 Richard set up the North East branch of the Positive Money campaign group. Although busy working as a Doctor he continues in his spare time to work to improve people's understanding of the money system, it's impacts on society and the alternatives available in line with this not for profit's objectives.

Margaret McCartney
We are dying older - a success. But we are also dying with more diseases, on more medication. Most people want to die at home, but relatively few do. Meantime, we are urged to 'fight' disease, and many medical interventions are oversold - from CPR to some cancer treatments. Whereas, it's real 'holistic' medicine -hands on palliative and social care- that extends quality and quantity of life. What are the myths and reality of healthcare at the end of life?
Dr Margaret McCartney is a GP in Glasgow, columnist for the BMJ, regular contributor to Radio 4's Inside Health, and author of two books. The Patient Paradox - why sexed up medicine is bad for your health - was published in 2012, and Living with Dying - finding care and compassion at the end of life - in 2014.

Ken Humphreys
Outside of confessional interests, Jesus has diminished in stature in recent decades but is even a minimalist Jesus sustainable?
Though most historians still aver that there was "probably" a Jesus (without any agreement as to quite who he was), and many people think that it required "someone" to inspire the birth of Christianity, an articulate and growing minority of scholars say, on the contrary, that no human Jesus of Nazareth ever lived, that he is a literary construction, fabricated from Jewish scriptural templates and motifs drawn from the world of polytheism.
Author Kenneth Humphreys has been the force behind the popular Jesus myth website www.jesusneverexisted.com for more than thirteen years, has appeared on TV and numerous radio shows, and has engaged in many debates with apologists for Christianity. Humphreys will be presenting the case that Jesus never existed and will inevitably follow Adam, Noah, Abraham and Moses into the mythology of the world.

Myles Power
Myles Power has been debunking pseudoscientists by the use of blogs and videos for some time and was obviously far too successful.
Recently US legal direction regarding digital rights has resulted in a hunt for plagiarised work on the Web so that it can be removed or the artists recompensed for their efforts. As a result Youtube and other providers have had to adjust their policies to cut out offenders. Pseudoscientists have abused these procedures to attack debunkers who use clips of Youtube videos to show where misleading or wrong information has been published.
Myles is in the middle of an ongoing battle to remain in a position to ensure pseudoscientists are kept in check. This is a coverage of his history of debunking and an update of how things are going.
NOTE: Due to a double-booking at the Bridge, we've had to move this event to Tuesday 11th of November.

This month, solicitors Gary Broadfield (@GaslanB) and David Cook (@CyberSolicitor) (full bios below) will be discussing the history and development of the online cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. We shall examine how Bitcoin operates in practice and review the potential positives, and negatives of Bitcoin as a currency. We will then focus upon how the advantages of Bitcoin have led to the legitimacy of the currency facing a challenge as it is adopted by criminals to facilitate frauds, money laundering and other online crime. The seminar will then deal with the challenges faced by national regulators in monitoring and taxing the use of Bitcoin and investigating suspected misuse. Finally we will discuss potential future developments and how Bitcoin might develop and grow in future months and years.
Both Gary and David have experience in court defending both high-tech "cybercrime" cases such as persecutions for filesharing, as well as regularly defending the most serious allegations of financial crime and regulatory investigations carried out within England & Wales, and are in a unique position to set out the challenges posed to both traditional fiat currencies and authorities by decentralised and semi anonymous online currencies, together with the responses of governments around the world to those threats.
Gary Broadfield is a partner at Garstangs Burrows Bussin and has been involved in defending some of the most serious and complex criminal cases prosecuted in recent years, with an emphasis on high value fraud and white collar crime but with a growing practice related to criminality carried out on the "Dark Web."
David Cook is a Solicitor Advocate at Pannone, part of Slater and Gordon, and is recognised as an expert in cyber crime and data security. He successfully defended clients in prosecutions for online file sharing and has acted for both Richard O'Dwyer and members of Anonymous with regard to allegations of hacking in both the US and UK.

27 Years Ago: U2 Dig Up Some American Roots on 'Rattle and Hum'
U2's 'Rattle and Hum' tried to be everything to everybody. It didn't quite get there.
U2 came out of the U.K. punk scene — from Ireland, specifically – with a stripped-down sound that hinted at grandeur beneath the skittering surface. Even on their very first album, 1980's 'Boy,' Bono's soaring vocals and the Edge's shimmering guitar were aimed at something bigger than whatever punk and New Wave offered them. By 1983's 'War,' U2 began making ripples with their anthem-sized songs about the same things Bob Dylan sang about 20 years earlier. On 1987's 'The Joshua Tree,' they finally reached the legendary status they were striving for with a sprawling work about broken dreams at the end of the world. After a globe-conquering tour made them one of the era's biggest bands, U2 shot back with an industrial-noise set called 'Achtung Baby' that set the course for their restless, ambitious career. They're still following that exciting path.
U2's 'Rattle and Hum' tried to be everything to everybody. It didn't quite get there.
U2's fourth album arrived just a little more than a year and a half after its punky predecessor 'War' became a surprise platinum-selling hit.
A U2 concert scheduled in Sweden was canceled after a "security risk" was reported.
Bono says the group are hoping to release 'Songs of Experience' next year.
U2 don't inspire weak reactions in people. There are passionate U2 fans, and passionate U2 haters, and very little in between.
U2 closed out their eight-concert stand at Madison Square Garden on stage with Bruce Springsteen.
U2 fans will have the chance to take an up-close look at the band's latest world tour with a pair of HBO specials this fall.
Check out these photos from one of U2's recent shows at New York's Madison Square Garden.
U2's performance at the Forum in Los Angeles last night included a tribute to the band's longtime tour manager Dennis Sheehan, who died unexpectedly just hours before they took the stage.
Dennis Sheehan, U2's longtime tour manager, was found dead in a Los Angeles hotel this morning.

Re: SCRE4M (Film 2011) Discussion/Grade *Spoilers!*
I really liked Sydney in this one. At the end she lost me a bit, but overall, she was strong and intelligent and gave ghostface hell = I love her. Plus, she looked a lot like she did in the first and I was happy about that.
Overall, if you don't see it, you won't miss anything. Better than 3, not as good as 2. Some enjoyable components but not enough to be worth the foray.
Bye Scream. I'm glad you ended better.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- A believed grenade discovered by a passerby Monday evening turned out to be a false alarm, police said.
Gwinnett police responded to the Lawrenceville intersection of Woodhaven Downs and Ga. Highway 20 -- not far from Taylor Elementary School -- Monday after resident walking by located what he and authorities thought may have been a grenade.
It turned out to be a false alarm.
"The device was a fake and it does not appear to have been placed intentionally," police spokesman Cpl. Jake Smith said.

The latest weather forecast reports that the winds over the nuclear power plant in Japan have switched directions, and instead of blowing radioactive particles out to sea, the nuclear plume is drifting over Japan. Which is tragic, really. Given that there's over 5000 miles of ocean between Japan and the United States for radioactive materials to disperse, I'd rather take the fallout this way than see Japan further under siege.
But winds are fickle, and the battle to contain the nuclear crisis at the earthquake-damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant still rages.
You already know how I feel about stockpiling iodide pills (DON'T). And I gave you the 11 reasons why US left-coasters shouldn't freak out about radiation in Japan (namely, we're safe right now). But I have yet to put on my white coat and fill you in on what you should know about nuclear radiation and how it affects our bodies.
So here goes. Are you listening there in the back (Bueller…Bueller)? Where's my chalkboard? Now keep in mind that I nearly had a mental meltdown trying to keep my grades up in my pre-med physics classes at Duke. This is not your friendly neighborhood nuclear physicist's lecture. So we'll keep this real simple.
Radiation 101: The Facts, Just The Facts, Ma'am
Radiation surrounds us all the time. It's in the air, the ground, our homes, and our food (oddly enough, bananas and brazil nuts clock in as the most radioactive foods). The average human is exposed to about three millisieverts of radiation per year, mostly from cosmic radiation and medical procedures. At these levels, any damage done can be repaired by a healthy body. While this small dose of radiation has not been shown to have any adverse biological effects on humans, higher doses can definitely hurt us.
For example, the power plant in Japan has been recorded spewing out up to 800 millisieverts per hour.
So What Happens?
When cells — and what lies within them — get exposed to radiation, components of DNA and critical proteins within the cell get all jazzed up (ionized), meaning that the electrons with our atoms get kicked out, causing the DNA strands to break and the proteins to cramp up (denature).
Ionizing Radiation:
· Leads to the production of free radicals
· Breaks critical chemical bonds
· Leads to changes in cellular structure within irradiated cells
· Damages vital molecules, such as DNA, RNA, and other regulatory proteins
Because our cells are mostly water, this ionizing radiation breaking H20 down is harmful to free radicals (H+ and OH-). While cells are damaged by free radicals all the time, they normally repair themselves, keeping the body healthy. However, high doses of radiation can damage the cell's ability to repair itself, and then all hell breaks loose.
This shakes things up all over the body.
Next: How radiation can damage the body

County unemployment nearly twice last year's rate
Marion joblessness rises to 8.5 percent
Published: Saturday, September 20, 2008 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 20, 2008 at 9:13 a.m.
OCALA Nearly twice as many Marion County residents were jobless in August compared with the same month last year.
According to data that the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation released Friday, the county's jobless rate for August reached 8.5 percent, up from an adjusted rate of 8 percent for July, and up more than 3 percentage points from 5.1 percent in August 2007.
That represents 11,996 Marion residents unemployed and looking for work, compared with 6,885 in the same month last year.
The statewide unemployment rate for August, not adjusted for seasonal work, was 6.8 percent, up from 6.5 percent in July. The nationwide rate was 6.1 percent, a tenth of a percent higher than in July.
The seasonally adjusted rate for Florida was 6.5 percent, and the seasonally adjusted national rate was unchanged at 6.1 percent. Seasonally adjusted figures were not available for Marion County.
"We're in a very, very, very difficult labor market," said Rusty Skinner, chief executive officer of CLM Workforce Development, the regional state-funded employment and training agency for Marion, Levy and Citrus counties. "It's a challenge right now. Jobs are scarce."
The county hasn't seen such a high unemployment rate since the early 1990s, said Pete Tesch, president and CEO of the Ocala/Marion County Economic Development Corp.
"You have to go back that far to see unemployment numbers that high," he said. "It's certainly a very turbulent, uncertain time."
And the numbers are going to get worse. The August figures don't include the announced October shutdowns of Merillat's Ocala cabinet plant and Universal Forest Products' Ocala plant, as well as layoffs at the Star-Banner. Combined, those layoffs will add roughly 400 more people to the unemployment statistics in October.
The high jobless rate means Marion's work force has many skilled workers to offer prospective employers.
"The economic downturn is giving us a pool of talent like we've never had before," Skinner said. "Employers are at a point where, if they're hiring, they can demand a closer match to the skill set that they need."
Skinner encouraged job seekers to tailor their applications and resumes' to a specific position.
"The challenge now more than ever is to very precisely craft your response to every job you're applying for," he said. "Look at employer ads and find out exactly what they're looking for."
Tesch would like to see increased state funding for CLM Workforce to assist displaced workers, and infrastructure and permitting improvements to encourage businesses to relocate or expand.
But the current national credit crunch limits the likelihood of that happening, he added.
Even as CLM Workforce encourages unemployed workers to consider looking for jobs outside Marion County, Skinner worries about a potential talent drain.
"The broader the geography you're looking at, the better your chances of finding something," he said. "We want to keep the talent here in Marion County."

Article: Recovery of fertility after removal of polyurethane plugs from the human vas deferens occluded for up to 5 years[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The present study reports the outcome of operations to remove MPU plugs from 130 men who had had occlusions of the vas deferens for between 0.5 and 5 years. The female partners of all the men achieved a pregnancy over a period of 0.5–4 years after the reversal operation.International Journal of Andrology 11/1992; 15(6):465 - 467.

ABSTRACT: This paper describes two consecutive studies: a volume study and an efficacy study. The volume study determined the appropriated volume of Medical Grade Silicone Rubber (MSR) needed to achieve complete occlusion of the vas deferens. This was done by in-vitro testing of 130 human vas specimens containing plugs of MSR formed in vivo. The volume of MSR needed to occlude the vas was 0.1531 +/- 0.0059 ml injected by five to six turns of the applicator handwheel. There was a correlation between MSR volume, weight, and the number of turns of the applicator handwheel. An influence of body height upon the volume and weight of the MSR was also observed. An oval shaped clamp (15 mm long) was more effective in producing secure vas occlusion than was a round clamp (10 mm long). The mean outer diameter of the vas specimens was 1.80 +/0 0.15 mm, and the mean maximum dilated inner diameter was 0.93 +/- 0.11 mm. The efficacy study was a clinical trial to compare MSR was occlusion (using an oval 15 mm clamp and the appropriate volume derived from the volume study, n = 58) with no-scalpel vasectomy as the standard procedure (n = 64). The azoospermia rate following MSR vas occlusion was not significantly different from that following no-scalpel vasectomy, and was achieved in 3-6 months.International Journal of Andrology 07/1995; 18 Suppl 1(s1):45-52.
